Recommended Phase II Dose (Phase I) Primary · assessed for a maximum of cycle 1

dose of veliparib which was deemed to be the recommended phase II dose to be administered in the combination with CE for the phase II clinical trial

Phase I100
Progression Free Survival (Phase II) Primary · Assessed every 3 months for patients < 2 years from registration and every 6 months if patient is 2- 3 years from registration until the date of first documented progression or death. No specific requirements if patient is > 3 years from registration

Profession free survival (PFS) is defined as time from randomization to date of disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurred first. Patients who had not experienced an event of interest by the time of analysis were censored at the date they were last known to be alive and progression-free. Tumor response was evaluated via Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 criteria, and progression was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study, or appearance of one or more new lesions

Overall Survival (OS) Secondary · Assessed every 3 months for patients < 2 years from registration and every 6 months if patient is 2- 3 years from registration until the date of death. No specific requirements if patient is > 3 years from registration

Overall survival (OS) is defined as time from randomization to death from any cause. Median OS was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

Overall Response Rate (ORR) Secondary · assessed every 6 weeks while on study, then every 3 months for patients < 2 years from registration and every 6 months if patient is 2- 3 years from registration.

Tumor response was evaluated using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1. Complete response (CR) was defined as disappearance of all target lesions. Partial response (PR) was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. Overall response rate= (CR+PR)/all eligible and treated patients

Neurotoxicity Total Score Change Between Baseline and 3 Months After Treatment Start Secondary · assessed at baseline and 3 months after treatment initiation

Neurotoxicity total score was measured by the 11 items in the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy/Gynecologic Oncology Group-Neurotoxicity (FACT/GOG-Ntx) questionnaire. Each item was scored from 0-4. The severity of neurotoxicity was measured by the total score of the 11 items, ranged from 0 to 44. Lower values of the FACT/GOG-Ntx neurotoxicity total score indicate higher neurotoxicity.

Phase II: Arm D (Veliparib)-0.1± 4.8
Phase II: Arm E (Placebo)-1.8± 6.4

Sponsor's own description

This randomized phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of veliparib when given together with or without cisplatin and etoposide and to see how well they work in treating patients with extensive stage small cell lung cancer or large cell neuroendocrine non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin and etoposide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Veliparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving cisplatin and etoposide with or without veliparib may work better in treating patients with extensive stage small cell lung cancer or metastatic large cell neuroendocrine non-small cell lung cancer.
